Question:

What is the reading on speedometer when youdo willy (front tyre in airstunt) on a motorcycle?

pls explain. Nd answr dis

Answer:

The wheel will show some MPH for a while then recede. the front wheel speedo measures wheel RPM, It can show 6 MPH while the bike does 75 MPH.
Willy is a persons name. Do you mean Wheelie? The speedometer is referenced from the transmission to the rear tire. Oh, and it's spelled: T I R E. What the heck is Nd answr dis? I don't speak abbreviation.
Most, but not all, motorcycle’s speedometers are driven by the front wheel so when the front tyre* is off the road the reading is no longer accurate – however the wheel does not stop rotating so the speedo does not read zero (and you would not want the wheel to stop rotating as that will create inertia when you land the wheelie and cause an accident). *the spelling is correct for most of the world, insular Americans aside
